Box Office: January release of ‘Padmavati’ to impact other films?

After being shifted from its 1st December release date, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati’ is most likely to release in January, which will impact other films coming out in the same month.

Box Office India reports that ‘Padmavati’ is expected to be given a 26th January 2018 release, to coincide with India Republic Day weekend. However, two films already occupy that date – ‘Aiyaary’ starring Sidharth Malhotra and Manoj Bajpayee and ‘Padman’ starring Akshay Kumar and Sonam Kapoor. Earlier, ‘2.0’ also starring Kumar was also going to clash on the same date but makers decided to move it to April 2018.

With ‘Padmavati’ yet to get clearance for its release from CBFC, Viacom18 Motion Pictures and Bhansali are keeping tight-lipped on any new release date.
